In dial polling among Coloradans during the first presidential debate last week at the University of Denver, D.C.-based Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg told the Washington P[1]ost Wednesday that Obama slid among unmarried women.

Greenberg, who combined the Colorado dial polling the night of the debate with focus groups in Virginia and Ohio, says the debate was a “turning point and an opportunity for the president” and that unmarried women, in particular, did not respond well.

He said unmarried women thought the president’s message, coming out of the debate, was unclear.

“They heard nothing there that was relevant to them,” Greenberg told the Washington Post. “They were not hearing about issues or problems or things that Obama would do to affect their lives.”

Greenberg said specifically Romney succeeded in communicating with unmarried women with his five-point plan. He told the Washington POst that it “gave his details meaning.”

Before the debates, Obama was doing better among unmarried women than Romney by 63-24.
